Summary
Luis Castillo allowed one hit and two walks over seven scoreless innings, striking out a season-high 10 on 104 pitches in Chicago’s 5-0 win over Cincinnati.
Castillo generated 22 swings and misses—the most by a White Sox pitcher this season—with eight each on his four-seam fastball and changeup, a pitch he said he threw more confidently under a targeted game plan.
Drew Romo supported the home-debut gem at both ends, homering in the third and adding an RBI single in the eighth for his first multihit game since May 15.
Chase Meidroth, back despite recent left wrist soreness, hit his 12th homer as the White Sox improved to 62-57 and widened their AL Central edge to 3 1/2 games over Detroit and Minnesota.
